Core food and agricultural indicators for measuring the private sector’s contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals

Q-Are the associated indicators adequate to measure private sector entities’ contribution to the SDGs?

Answer: The report is quite comprehensive but I feel private sectors institutional characteristics including innovativeness needs to be captured

Q-If not, where are the gaps?

Answer:

  1. Expenditure on technical training of workers as proportion of revenue;
  2. Sources, uptake and funding of technologies/information/innovation development and dissemination;
  3. Community service or compensation to community of operation;

Q- Would it be helpful to include the specific list of indicators which apply to each type of production, e.g. aquaculture, livestock, crop production?

Answer: No there should be a standard format that can be adopted by all the sub-sectors for ease of reporting.

Best regards.
